Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Prime Minister
- The Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) benefit is intended to financially help small businesses severely impacted by the COVID19 pandemic pay their rent;
- But the benefit is only available If the landlord applies for it, thus leaving the small business powerless to access the benefit;
- Additionally many landlords state they are either not eligible or don't know if they qualify; and
- All of this means that yet another month has passed and small businesses are required to pay rent when their businesses have little to no revenue.
